Welcome back, everyone.
The Vancouver Whitecaps will be hosting a home match for the first time in 2025 Thursday night, as they welcome Saprissa for the second leg of a Concacaf Champions Cup matchup.
After conceding late down in Costa Rica, the Whitecaps still have a good amount of work to do at home, as they need a 1-0 win or a multi-goal win to advance directly, while a 2-1 result will take things to penalties.
In terms of squad availability, I will update with the latest from training as it comes in.
Alright, on to rules and standings we go:
- Predictions will be ‘valid’ if posted HERE (or more accurately, whichever is the correct match thread) before the lineup is officially announced, usually about an hour before kickoff.
- You receive 1 point for every player you correctly guess to be in the Starting XI. You receive 4 bonus points for correctly predicting all 11 starters.
- You get 5 points for correctly guessing Win/Lose/Draw, this doubles to 10 if you also predict the right score-line along with the result.
- All this means, if you correctly predict the Starting XI, Final Score, and Winner, you can earn 25 points!
- At the end of each half of the season, the contestant’s lowest two scores (or missed predictions) of that period will be deducted from the cumulative standings.

Let’s just do the thing and not go to PKs, mkay. And I’d love to see some Halbouni and Bovalina!
